Tour description: Parasailing + Banana Boat + Donut (Sofa Ride)

Three rides, one unforgettable day on the water. The parasail lifts you into the sky above the Red Sea, the banana boat tests how well you can hold on for your life, and the donut (sofa) delivers exactly as much adrenaline as you need for complete happiness.

The ideal choice for those who want maximum fun in minimum time. Perfect for groups of friends, couples, and families with children - the instructor is right beside you, life jackets on everyone, safety fully covered.

All three rides in one package at a special combined price - cheaper than buying each one separately on the beach.

🎒 What to bring: Swimwear, a towel, a change of clothes (you will definitely get wet), sunscreen, sunglasses, cash for photo/video, and water shoes (coral shoes).
🚐

A hotel transfer picks you up - no need to make your own way there.

Can children take part?

Yes, children from age 5 can join. The instructor stays close and everyone wears a life jacket - everything is fully supervised.

Will I get wet?

Yes, guaranteed! Bring a change of clothes and a towel.

Is prepayment required?

No. Payment is on the day of the tour: $, €, or card.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Message our manager on Telegram at least 24 hours ahead and we'll sort it out easily.

Tourist reviews: Parasailing + Banana Boat + Donut (Sofa Ride)

C
Charlotte WebbWith a friend · all 3 rides

We took it as a pair of friends and had an absolute blast! The parasail is the most memorable - the view over the sea from up there is unreal. The banana boat was its own adventure: impossible to hold on, everyone falls and screams. The donut (sofa) added yet more adrenaline. Two hours for all of that and a great mood for the rest of the holiday. Transfer was easy, the instructor was great. Highly recommend!

★★★★★
H
Henry FosterGroup of 4

Went as a group of four - everyone left absolutely delighted. The funniest part was the banana boat - none of us lasted more than a minute, the speedboat was deliberately throwing us around. The donut (sofa) looks harmless from the outside, but that is a lie. The price for three rides together is very good value - buying each separately on the beach would cost more. Well organised, everything on time.

Lily StoneFamily with kids aged 8 and 11

We brought our kids aged 8 and 11. They were absolutely over the moon, especially with the donut. The instructor was right there the whole time, watching over safety and explaining what to do. Life jackets on everyone, no worries at all. One tip: bring a change of clothes - you will definitely get soaked. We will book it again on our next visit!

★★★★★

Oscar HillBooked it twice in one trip

The best value package for water activities. The donut (sofa) looks innocent but is actually the most extreme of the three. The parasail is the most beautiful. We booked it twice on the same trip because we enjoyed it so much the first time. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a fun, active day without long tour schedules.

More about this tour

Three rides in one package - the most popular active water entertainment in Sharm el-Sheikh. Instead of buying each attraction separately on the beach (and wasting time waiting and negotiating), you get everything at once for one great combined price, with hotel transfer included.

Parasailing is the most spectacular of the three. A parachute lifts you up to 100 metres above the surface of the Red Sea. From up there you get a panoramic view of the entire Sharm coastline: turquoise water, the Sinai mountains, and white hotels along the shore. The flight lasts 5-7 minutes, with take-off and landing directly from the boat.

Banana boat is the ride of survival. The inflatable banana is towed behind a speedboat and the goal is to hold on. The boat deliberately makes sharp turns and bursts of speed to throw passengers into the water. As a rule, the whole group ends up in the sea within the first minute - amid laughter and screaming.

Donut (sofa) is an inflatable tube towed behind the speedboat. It looks harmless, but at speed and on sharp turns it becomes a full-on water rodeo. It tests your balance and delivers maximum adrenaline. Kids love it most.

Safety

Every participant is fitted with a life jacket before each ride. All instructors are professionals with extensive experience. Before you start, there is a brief safety briefing: how to hold on, what to do if you fall in, and how to signal the boat to stop.

Children from age 5 take part with adult supervision. Not recommended for pregnant women or people with spinal conditions. No other contraindications.

Frequently asked questions

Which ride is the most intense?

By sensation, the donut (sofa). It looks harmless, but the speed and the boat's turns create serious forces. The parasail, by contrast, is the smoothest and most beautiful of the three.

Do I have to do all three rides?

The package includes all three. If you want to skip one, just tell the instructor - that is possible. But usually after the first ride, everyone wants to keep going.

How many people are on each ride at once?

The banana boat and donut take 4-6 people at a time. The parasail takes one or two. This is what creates the shared fun atmosphere in the group.

Can I film on my phone?

On the parasail and parts of the other rides, yes. But it is best to put your phone in a waterproof case, or let the instructor take photos for you (at an extra charge on the day).

What if I am afraid of water or heights?

The parasail goes up to 100 m - if you are afraid of heights, you can ask to stay lower. A life jacket keeps you fully safe in the water. Everything is at the participant's discretion.
